Color Multifunction Printers

Print Quality

Many factors determine the quality of the print output delivered by a color multifunction printer. Printhead technology and image resolution, color registration and accu-

racy, and intuitive, user-friendly color adjustments are all key components of a printer’s ability to deliver the results you demand to bring your high-end color print jobs in-house.

How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer exceeds the print quality requirement

Color registration and accuracy

With an ASIC driver to control the light intensity of the LEDs in each printhead, HiQ LED offers

better dot-to-dot intensity and timing control,

Precise Color Registration

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545

/ 7556 digitally adjusts for mis-registration.

Notice the white edges on the “G” and “M” produced by the laser device. The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 automati-

cally makes the necessary adjustments.

WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556

and produces more precise color registration.

HiQ LED handles mis-registration issues auto-

matically, simultaneously and continuously,

from LED to LED. In fact, tests show that HiQ LED technology corrects color mis-registration

even better than comparable laser printers.

Plus, true Adobe give you the power to print visually rich documents reliably.

Printhead technology and image resolution

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer features the new

Xerox HiQ LED printhead, which offers major

improvements in image quality.

The “brain” behind the entire print-head process

is Xerox’s new application speci c integrated circuit (ASIC) driver chip. This high-performance

driver precisely controls the intensity and

timing LEDs in each printhead to achieve true 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution—print quality

that’s equivalent to, and often better than, comparable laser systems. By continually and automatically monitoring information about

each LED, the ASIC driver can adjust each

PostScript® 3™, PCL® and XPS

diode’s light intensity and timing. This ensures

uniformity across the entire LED array—and

produces consistently high print quality without compromising the printer’s high-speed output. Whether printing spreadsheets, presentations or customer collaterals, the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 delivers truly impressive results.

Plus, Xerox EA Ultra Low-Melt toner—chemically

grown to produce the market’s smallest, most

uniformly shaped particles—delivers sharper

clarity, excellent shadowing and outstanding

 ne-line detail.

Unique color control

Our “Color By Words,” a powerful-yet-intuitive color technology, takes the guesswork out of optimizing

your color print jobs. With Color By Words there is no need to manipulate source  les. Users simply select the desired color modi cations from a drop-down list—such as “green colors a lot more green” or “red colors a lot more saturated”—and the image is automatically adjusted.

and “red colors a lot more saturated.” Picture-perfect results.

Have you ever wanted to change the

color of one object or area in a printout without affecting the rest of the page? With the Color

By Words feature there is no need to go back

to square one and manipulate source  les. You simply select the desired color modi cations

from a drop-down list, and Color By Words will

Color Multifunction Printers

Standard Features and Functions

When determining which color multifunction printer offers the best overall value, look closely at the features and functions you get as standard inclusions instead

of as costly add-ons.

How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer exceeds the standard features and functions requirement

Following are some of the WorkCentre 7525

/ 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction

printer’s standard-feature highlights:

Print from and scan to USB device

The convenient front-panel USB port makes it fast and easy to print from or scan to any standard USB memory device.

Hard disk overwrite and encryption

Hard disk overwrite eradicates data stored on the hard disk automatically, at specic intervals, or on command, and hard disk encryption safeguards data while it's stored.

Scanning destinations

The WorkCentre 7545 / 7556 includes Scan to Email, Scan to Mailbox, and Scan to Network.

Earth Smart print setting

The Earth Smart feature allows users to choose the most environmentally sensitive options for

all print jobs.

On-box Optical Character Recognition, searchable PDF

Easily convert hard-copy documents into

searchable-PDF format for faster retrieval.

True Adobe

The industry’s most relied-upon page description languages ensure consistently accurate print results.

Accounting capabilities

Use Xerox Standard Accounting tools to control print quantities and charge-back options. Plus,

MS Active Directory™ makes it easy to integrate

the WorkCentre 7500 series with existing

IT systems.

Increased Flexibility

• The easy-to-use 3D Interfaces with Fiery VUE guide users to visually create

professional-quality booklets and documents before they print, delivering expert results with reduced waste.

Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Color Multifunction Printers

Productivity

In addition to actual print engine speed, consider the factors that affect overall throughput. Are the device’s scanning and faxing features powerful enough to sup-

port the demands of your busiest departments? Is the device appropriately sized for the entire workgroup? Can important features be used simultaneously, or are employees forced to wait for the device to become “free”? Is the system designed to minimize network trafc? Can device functions be monitored from users’ desktops and/or from the front panel user interface?

How the WorkCentre® 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer exceeds the productivity requirement

Speed

The productivity of the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 starts with its fast print engine. The WorkCentre 7500 series delivers a print speed of up to 55 ppm for blackand-white and 50 ppm color output. Powerful scanning capabilities include scanning at up to 70 ipm, and support for multiple scanning

destinations. Duplex printing is just as fast

as printing single-sided documents, and the

Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) includes paper capacity of up to 110 sheets. All WorkCentre 7500 series congurations come with a powerful 1.5 GHz processor and 2 GB of system plus 1 GB page memory. The controller

enables the WorkCentre 7500 series to deliver

fast rst-page-out times as fast as 5.8 seconds

for black-and-white and 7.2 seconds for color.

Plus, our Smart RIP technology allows the rst

page to start printing while subsequent pages are still processing.

Network performance

Performance isn’t limited to raw document feeds and speeds. The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer features a high-performance processor plus

a 160 GB hard drive, delivering the necessary

horsepower to process your large, complex

jobs. In addition, 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet

connectivity comes standard for shared network

printing, and optional adapters for 10Base5 and 802.11b wireless Ethernet ensure you can

connect WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 device according to your workgroup’s

specic needs.

File compression

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 lets you access scanned documents faster,

with advanced le compression techniques that dramatically shrink le sizes, reduce storage

space requirements and cut down on your

network’s document trafc.

Concurrency

The new WorkCentre controller’s advanced design also helps avoid bottlenecks at the front panel. Concurrent operation means you won’t

have to wait until a long print job is complete before programming a fax, scan or copy job. By

keeping the front panel available for programming while the print engine is busy, users stay productive and avoid idle time. Scan and

fax jobs can be programmed and executed

without waiting for the print engine to become

available, while newly programmed copy jobs will join the job queue and be executed when earlier jobs are completed.

Monitoring system status

The WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556 multifunction printer delivers up-to-date

information on every job — print, copy, scan,

email or fax, plus in-depth device status details. Whether at the device or from the desktop,

users can easily manage documents and jobs through an integrated job queue.
